AAON,
Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September
30, 2009
(unaudited)
AAON,
Inc. is a Nevada corporation which was incorporated on August 18,
1987. Our subsidiaries include AAON, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation,
AAON Coil Products, Inc., a Texas corporation, AAON Canada, Inc., d/b/a Air
Wise, an Ontario corporation and AAON Properties, Inc., an Ontario
corporation. AAON Properties is the lessor of property in Burlington,
Ontario, Canada to AAON Canada. The Consolidated Financial Statements
include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report to “AAON,” the
“Company”, “we,” “us,” “our” or “ours” refer to AAON, Inc., and our
subsidiaries.
We have
prepared the financial statements included herein without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the
disclosures made in these financial statements are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in our latest audited financial
statements which were included in the Form 10-K Report for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments
required for a fair presentation of the results of the periods
presented. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2009.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenues from sales of products when the products are shipped and the
title and risk of ownership pass to the customer. Selling prices are
fixed based on purchase orders or contractual agreements. Sales
allowances and customer incentives are treated as reductions to sales and are
provided for based on historical experiences and current
estimates. For sales initiated by independent manufacturer
representatives, we recognize revenues net of the representatives’
commission. Our policy is to record the collection and payment of
sales taxes through a liability account.
Currency
Foreign
currency transactions and financial statements are translated in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification (“FASC”) Topic 830,
Foreign Currency
Matters. We use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency,
except for the Canadian subsidiaries, which use the Canadian
dollar. Adjustments arising from translation of the Canadian
subsidiaries’ financial statements are reflected in accumulated other
comprehensive income. Transaction gains or losses that arise from
exchange rate fluctuations applicable to transactions denominated in Canadian
currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Derivatives
We use
derivatives to mitigate our exposure to volatility in copper prices.
Fluctuations in copper commodity prices impact the value of the derivatives that
we hold. We are subject to gains which we record as derivative assets
if the forward copper commodity prices increase and losses which we record as
derivative liabilities if they decrease. We record the fair value of
the derivative position in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We use
COMEX index pricing to support our fair value calculation, which is a Level 2
input per the valuation hierarchy as the pricing is for instruments similar but
not identical to the contract we will settle (see Note 16, Fair Value
Measurements). We did not designate the derivative as a
cash flow hedge. We record changes in the derivative’s fair value
currently in earnings based on mark-to-market accounting. The change
in earnings is recorded to cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. We do not use derivatives for speculative
purposes.
Subsequent
Events
We have
determined that no subsequent events which require recognition or disclosure in
our Consolidated Financial Statements exist as of November 2, 2009, the date of
issuance for the financial statements.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
March 2008, the FASB issued FASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging,
formerly SFAS No. 161, (“FASC 815”), which requires enhanced disclosures
about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under prior
guidance and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash
flows. FASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Adoption
of FASC 815 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements (see Note 4, Derivatives).
In May
2009, the FASB issued FASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, formerly
SFAS 165 (“FASC
855”), which requires entities to disclose the date through which they have
evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the release of
their financial statements. FASC 855 is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FASC 855 for
reporting in second quarter 2009. Adoption of FASC 855 did not have a
material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01, Topic 105 - Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“ASU 2009-01”), which superseded all accounting
standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASU
2009-01 is effective for reporting periods ending after September 15,
2009. We adopted ASU 2009-01 for reporting in third quarter
2009. The codification does not change or alter existing
GAAP. Adoption of ASU 2009-01 did not have a material impact on our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosures: Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASU 2009-05”), which
provides clarification on measuring liabilities at fair value when a quoted
price in an active market is not available. ASU 2009-05 is effective
for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. We do not
expect adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
2.
Accounts Receivable
We grant
credit to customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations. We
generally do not require collateral or charge interest. We establish
an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit
risk of specific customers, historical trends, economic and market conditions
and the age of the receivable. Past due accounts are generally
written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all
collection attempts have been exhausted.
Accounts
receivable and the related allowance for doubtful accounts are as

3. Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. We establish an allowance for
excess and obsolete inventories based on product line changes, the feasibility
of substituting parts and the need for supply and replacement
parts. Inventory balances and the related changes in the allowance
for excess and obsolete inventories account are as follows:

We
increased our allowance for excess and obsolete inventories due to materials
from our Canadian facility that will not be utilized at either our Tulsa or
Longview locations.
4. Derivatives
We
entered into a derivative instrument during the third quarter 2009 with a large
financial institution. We do not use derivatives for speculative
purposes. The derivative mitigates our exposure to volatility in
copper prices. The derivative is in the form of a commodity futures
contract. The derivative contract settles monthly beginning in
January 2010 ending in December 2010. Settlements equal the
difference between the market price of copper and the contract price with the
financial institution. The contract is for a total of 2,250,000
pounds of copper at $2.383 per pound. The contract is for quantities
equal to or less than those expected to be used in our manufacturing operations
in 2010.
We are
subject to gains which we record as derivative assets if the forward copper
commodity prices increase and losses which we record as derivative liabilities
if they decrease. At September 30, 2009, the forward
copper commodity prices were higher than our contract price resulting in a gain
or derivative asset. We recognized the following derivative asset at
fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

but not identical to the contract we will settle (see Note 16, Fair Value Measurements).

6. Supplemental
Cash Flow Information
Interest
payments of approximately $9,000 and $58,000 were made for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Payments for income taxes
of $9.5 million and $8.8 million were made during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Dividends payable of $3.1
million and $2.8 million were accrued as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and paid in
July 2009 and 2008, respectively.
7. Revolving
Credit Facility
Our
revolving credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of $15.2 million which
is provided by the Bank of Oklahoma, National Association. Under the
line of credit, there is one standby letter of credit totaling $1.0
million. The letter of credit was a requirement of our workers
compensation insurance and will expire December 31, 2009. Interest on
borrowings is payable monthly at the rate of 4% or LIBOR plus 2.5%, whichever is
higher (4.00% at September 30, 2009). No fees are associated with the
unused portion of the committed amount.
At
September 30, 2009, we did not have an outstanding balance under the revolving
credit facility. At December 31, 2008, we had $2.9 million borrowed
under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings available under the
revolving credit facility at September 30, 2009 were $14.2
million. At September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with our
financial ratio covenants. The covenants are related to our tangible net worth,
total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and working capital. At
September 30, 2009 our tangible net worth was $114.9 million which meets the
requirement of being at or above $75 million. Our total liabilities
to tangible net worth ratio was 1 to 3 which meets the requirement of 2 to
1. Our working capital was $57.2 million which meets the requirement
of being at or above $30 million. On July 30, 2009, we renewed the
line of credit with a maturity date of July 30, 2010 with terms substantially
consistent with the previous agreement.
8.
Share-Based Compensation
We have
historically maintained a stock option plan for key employees, directors and
consultants (the “1992 Plan”). The 1992 Plan provided for 4.4 million
shares of common stock to be issued under the plan. Under the terms
of the 1992 Plan, the exercise price of shares granted may not be less than 85%
of the fair market value at the date of the grant. Options granted to
directors prior to May 25, 2004, vest one year from the date of grant and are
exercisable for nine years thereafter. Options granted to directors
on or after May 25, 2004, vest one-third each year, commencing one year after
the date of grant. All other options granted vest at a rate of 20%
per year, commencing one year after date of grant, and are exercisable during
years 2-10.
On May
22, 2007, our stockholders adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) which
provides an additional 750,000 shares that can be granted in the form of stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance units
and performance awards. Since inception of the LTIP, non-qualified
stock options and restricted stock awards have been granted with the same
vesting schedule as the previous plan. Under the LTIP, the exercise
price of shares granted may not be less than 100% of the fair market value at
the date of the grant.
We apply
the provisions of FASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock
Compensation. The compensation cost is based on the grant date
fair value of stock options issued calculated using a Black-Scholes-Merton
Option Pricing Model, or the grant date fair value of a restricted stock award
less the present value of dividends.
We recognized approximately $135,000
and $107,000 for the three months ended and approximately $363,000 and $336,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in pre-tax
compensation expense related to stock options in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. The total pre-tax compensation cost related to unvested stock
options not yet recognized as of September 30, 2009 is $1.1 million and is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2
years.
The
following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of
the stock options granted on the original grant date for expense recognition
purposes for options:

The
expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected
future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is
based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates
approximately equal to the expected life at the grant
date. Volatility is based on historical volatility of our stock over
time periods equal to the expected life at grant date.

The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has authorized and issued
restricted stock awards to our directors, officers and key employees. The
restricted stock award program offers the opportunity to earn shares of AAON
common stock over time, rather than options that give the right to purchase
stock at a set price. Restricted stock awards granted to directors vest
one-third each year. All other restricted stock awards vest at a rate
of 20% per year. Restricted stock awards are grants that entitle the
holder to shares of common stock subject to certain terms. The fair
value of restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of AAON
common stock on the respective grant dates, reduced for the present value of
dividends.
These awards are recorded at their fair values on the
date of grant and compensation cost is recorded using straight-line vesting over
the service period. We recognized approximately $96,000 and $83,000
for the three months ended and approximately $268,000 and $267,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively in pre-tax compensation
expense related to restricted stock awards in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, unrecognized
compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards was approximately
$562,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
1.5 years.

9. Earnings
Per Share
Basic net
income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net
income per share assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities
and is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive
securities. Dilutive common shares consist primarily of stock options and
restricted stock awards.

10. Income
Taxes
We file
income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and
foreign jurisdictions and account for income taxes in accordance with FASC Topic
740, Income
Taxes. As of September 30, 2009, we do not have any
unrecognized tax benefits. We do not expect to record any
unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
We
recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in
income tax expense. At September 30, 2009, we had accrued
approximately $6,000 for the potential payment of interest and did not have any
accruals for penalties.
As of
September 30, 2009, we are subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for
the tax years 2006 through 2008, and to non-U.S. income tax examinations for the
tax years of 2006 through 2008. In addition, we are subject to state
and local income tax examinations for the tax years 2005 through
2008.
We do not
have any unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the
effective tax rate.
Following
repurchases of approximately 12% of our outstanding common stock between
September 1999 and September 2001, we announced and began another stock
repurchase program on October 17, 2002, targeting repurchases of up to an
additional 10% (2.0 million shares) of our outstanding stock. On
February 14, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the suspension of our
repurchase program. Through February 14, 2006, we had repurchased a
total of 1,886,796 shares under this program for an aggregate price of
$22,034,568, or an average price of $11.68 per share. We purchased
the shares at the then current market price.
On
November 6, 2007, the Board authorized a new stock buyback program, targeting
repurchases of up to approximately 10% (1.8 million shares) of our outstanding
stock from time to time in open market transactions. Through
September 30, 2009, we repurchased a total of 1,717,804 shares under this
program for an aggregate price of $34,192,008, or an average price of $19.90 per
share. We purchased the shares at the current market
price.
On July
1, 2005, we entered into a stock repurchase arrangement by which
employee-participants in AAON’s 401(k) savings and investment plan are entitled
to have shares of AAON stock in their accounts sold to us to provide
diversification of their investments. The maximum number of shares to
be repurchased is unknown under the program as the amount is contingent on the
number of shares sold by employees. Through September 30, 2009, we
repurchased 730,137 shares for an aggregate price of $12,010,026, or an average
price of $16.45 per share. We purchased the shares at the current
market price.
On
November 7, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase shares from
certain directors and officers following their exercise of stock
options. The maximum number of shares to be repurchased is unknown
under the program as the amount is contingent on the number of shares
sold. Through September 30, 2009, we repurchased 350,375 shares for
an aggregate price of $7,167,623, or an average price of $20.46 per
share. We purchased the shares at the current market
price.
We are
subject to claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of
business. Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any,
will not have a material effect on our results of operations or financial
position.
13. Commitments and Contractual
Agreements
We are a
party to several short-term, cancelable and noncancelable, fixed price contracts
with major suppliers for the purchase of raw material and component parts. We
expect to receive delivery of raw materials for use in our manufacturing
operations from our fixed price contracts. These contracts are not
accounted for as derivative instruments because they meet the normal purchases
and sales exemption allowed by GAAP. In the normal course of
business we expect to purchase approximately $4.2 million in the form of legally
binding copper and aluminum commitments.
We are
locked into the following legally binding commitments:

14. Canadian
Facility
On May
18, 2009 we announced the closure of our Canadian facility and filed an 8-K to
that effect. At the same time, we notified the 47 Canadian employees of the
expected closure date of July 23, 2009. We accrued and charged to
expense $0.3 million through September 30, 2009, in closure costs related to
employee termination benefits in accordance with Canadian labor laws and
regulations. The closure costs are included in income from continuing
operations in the income statement. The following changes were made

15. Assets
Held For Sale
We
reclassified certain fixed assets with a net book value of $1.5 million to held
for sale upon closure of our Canadian manufacturing operations in September
2009. The assets are valued at the lower of cost or
market. They include the building and land. The carrying
value of the building net of accumulated depreciation is $0.6
million. We are no longer depreciating the building as of October
1, 2009. The
carrying value of the land is $0.9 million. We have contracted
with a realtor and plan to sell the property within one year. The
products previously manufactured at the Canadian facility will be produced by
the Tulsa and Longview facilities in the future.
16. Fair
Value Measurements
We follow
the provisions of FASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures related to financial assets and
liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value
basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants in the principal market at the measurement date (exit price). We
are required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following
categories:
Level 1
inputs which are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to
access at the measurement date.
Level 2
inputs which are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or
indirectly.
Level 3
inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or
liabilities.
Financial
assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of
a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may
affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their
placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Derivatives
Our
derivative assets consist of a forward purchase contract that is measured at
fair value using the quoted prices in the COMEX commodity markets which is the
lowest level of input significant to measurement. The fair value and
carrying amount of our derivative assets at September 30, 2009 is approximately
$1.0 million. The measurement is based on pricing for instruments
similar but not identical to the contract we will settle. These
prices are based upon regularly traded commodities on
COMEX. Therefore we consider the market for our commodity futures
contract to be active, yet the fair values are estimates and are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts for which we could settle such instruments
currently.
The
following table presents the fair value of our assets and liabilities measured
at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009:

2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
We
engineer, manufacture and market air-conditioning and heating equipment
consisting of standardized and custom rooftop units, chillers, air-handling
units, make-up units, heat recovery units, condensing units, coils and
boilers. Custom units are marketed and sold to retail, manufacturing,
educational, medical and other commercial industries. We market units
to all 50 states in the United States and certain provinces in
Canada. International sales are less than five percent as the
majority of all sales are domestic.
We sell
our products to property owners and contractors through a network of
manufacturers’ representatives and our internal sales force. Demand
for our products is influenced by national and regional economic and demographic
factors. The commercial and industrial new construction market is
subject to cyclical fluctuations in that it is generally tied to housing starts,
but has a lag factor of 6-18 months. Housing starts, in turn, are
affected by such factors as interest rates, the state of the economy, population
growth and the relative age of the population. When new construction
is down, we emphasize the replacement market.
The
principal components of cost of goods sold are labor, raw materials, component
costs, factory overhead, freight out and engineering expense. The
principal high volume raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are
steel, copper and aluminum, which are obtained from domestic
suppliers. The raw materials market was volatile during 2009 and 2008
due to the economic environment. In addition to our derivative
instrument, we attempt to limit the impact of price fluctuations on these
materials by entering into cancelable and noncancelable fixed price contracts
with our major suppliers for periods of 6 - 18 months. We expect to
receive delivery of raw materials for use in our manufacturing operations from
our fixed price contracts. These contracts are not accounted for as
derivative instruments because they meet the normal purchases and sales
exemption allowed by GAAP. We have entered into contracts that
are both above and below the average index price as of September 30,
2009. Prices decreased by approximately 49% for steel, 56% for
aluminum and 27% for copper from September 30, 2008 to September 30,
2009. The lower commodity prices have contributed to our lower cost
of goods sold.
Selling,
general, and administrative (“SG&A”) costs include our internal sales force,
warranty costs, profit sharing and administrative expense. Warranty
expense is estimated based on historical trends and other
factors. Our product warranty is: the earlier of one year from the
date of first use or 18 months from date of shipment for parts; an additional
four years on compressors; 15 years on gas-fired heat exchangers; and 25 years
on stainless steel heat exchangers. Warranty charges on heat
exchangers occur infrequently.
Our
office facilities consist of a 337,000 square foot building (322,000 sq. ft. of
manufacturing/ warehouse space and 15,000 sq. ft. of office space) located at
2425 S. Yukon Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma (“the original facility”), and a 563,000
square foot manufacturing/warehouse building and a 22,000 square foot office
building (“the expansion facility”) located across the street from the original
facility at 2440 S. Yukon Avenue. We previously leased 61% of
the expansion facility to a third party. Upon expiration of the lease
on May 31, 2009, we began renovations on the expansion facility to give us
increased manufacturing capacity. Our 2009 capital
expenditures budget reflects the projected outlay to remodel the
facility.
Other
operations are conducted in a plant/office building at 203-207 Gum Springs Road
in Longview, Texas, containing 258,000 square feet (251,000 sq. ft. of
manufacturing/ warehouse and 7,000 sq. ft. of office space). An
additional 15 acres of land was purchased for future expansion in 2004 and 2005
in Longview, Texas.
Our
facility in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, is located at 279 Sumach
Drive. The facility consists of an 82,000 sq. ft.
office/manufacturing facility on a 5.6 acre tract of land. The
facility was classified as available for sale upon closure of our manufacturing
operations in third quarter 2009 (see Note 15, Assets Held For
Sale). We plan to sell the property within one
year.

Results
of Operations
Key
events impacting our cash balance, financial condition, and results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, include the
following:
·
|
We
remained the leader in the industry for environmentally-friendly, energy
efficient and quality innovations, utilizing R410A refrigerant and phasing
out pollutant causing R22 refrigerant. The phase out of R22 began in early
2004. We also utilize a high performance composite foam panel to eliminate
over half of the heat transfer from typical fiberglass insulated
panels. We continue to utilize sloped condenser coils, and
access compartments to filters, motor, and fans. All of these
innovations increase the demand for our products thus increasing market
share.
|
·
|
In
February 2006, the Board of Directors initiated a program of semi-annual
cash dividend payments. Cash dividend payments of $5.8 million were made
in 2008 and $5.9 million in 2009. Cash dividends of $3.1
million were declared and accrued for in June 2009, and paid in July 2009.
In May 2009, the Board of Directors increased the semi-annual cash
dividend from $0.16 per share to $0.18 per
share.
|
·
|
Stock
repurchases resulted in cash payments of $2.5 million. The cash
received in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from options
exercised was $0.9 million.
|
·
|
Purchases
of equipment and expansion of facilities to create efficiencies remained a
priority. Our capital expenditures were $8.6 million. Equipment
purchases create significant efficiencies, lower production costs and
allow continued growth in production. We currently expect to
spend approximately $8.0 million to $9.0 million on capital expenditures
during 2009 for continued growth. A portion of our budgeted
capital expenditures will be spent expanding our manufacturing facilities
in Tulsa. Such expansion provides manufacturing capacity to
increase production of our products traditionally manufactured in
Tulsa. The expansion also provides operational flexibility for
us to establish production lines in Tulsa to manufacture custom products
which had been manufactured at our Canadian facilities. We
closed our manufacturing operations and reclassified our Canadian facility
as held for sale in September 2009 (see Note 15 Assets Held For
Sale).
|
Net
Sales
Net sales
decreased $20.8 million or 26% to $58.5 million from $79.3 million for the three
months ended, and decreased $28.4 million or 13% to $191.1 million from $219.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same
periods in 2008. The decrease in net sales was a result of the decreased volume
related to the current economic environment and lower sales from our Canadian
operations. The current economic environment has negatively impacted
commercial construction markets with some projects delayed, postponed
indefinitely or cancelled. The replacement market has also been
affected by customers delaying equipment replacement as a cost saving
strategy.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit decreased $2.3 million or 12% to $17.7 million from $20.0 million for the
three months ended, and decreased $0.9 million or 2% to $52.8 million from $53.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same
periods in 2008. As a percentage of sales, gross margins were 30.3%
compared to 25.3% for the three months ended, and 27.6% compared to 24.4% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The 20%
increase in gross margin percentages for the three months and 13% increase for
the nine months was primarily a result of lower material costs, improved
production and labor efficiencies, a reduction in manufacturing related expenses
and a $1.0 million unrealized gain from a derivative asset included in cost of
sales (see Note 4 Derivatives) despite lower
net sales and expenses associated with the Canadian facility
closure. Our gross margins as a percentage of sales excluding the
unrealized gain were 28.6% compared to 25.3% for the three months ended, and
27.1% compared to 24.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
The
principal components of cost of goods sold are labor, raw materials, component
costs, factory overhead, freight out and engineering expense. The
principal high volume raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are
steel, copper and aluminum, which are obtained from domestic
suppliers. The raw materials market was volatile during 2009 and 2008
due to the economic environment. In addition to our derivative
instrument, we attempt to limit the impact of price fluctuations on these
materials by entering into cancelable and noncancelable fixed price contracts
with our major suppliers for periods of 6 - 18 months. We expect to
receive delivery of raw materials for use in our manufacturing operations from
our fixed price contracts. These contracts are not accounted for as
derivative instruments since they meet the normal purchases and sales exemption
allowed by GAAP. We have entered into contracts that are both
above and below the average index price as of September 30,
2009. Prices decreased by approximately 49% for steel, 56% for
aluminum and 27% for copper from September 30, 2008 to September 30,
2009. The lower commodity prices have contributed to our lower cost
of goods sold and higher gross profit margins.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased $2.0 million or 27% to $5.3
million from $7.3 million for the three months ended, and decreased $0.7 million
or 4% to $18.6 million from $19.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease was
primarily due to a lower warranty expense related to fewer sales and sales
related expenses.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
expense increased approximately $342,000 to $173,000 compared to other income of
$169,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Other income decreased approximately $415,000 to $1,000
from $416,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same
periods in 2008. The decrease in other income (expense) was primarily
related to the termination of the lease on our expansion facility.
Other
income is primarily attributable to rental income from our expansion facility
which we received through the lease expiration on May 31, 2009. Upon
expiration of the lease, we began renovations on the expansion facility to give
us increased manufacturing capacity. Our 2009 capital
expenditures budget reflects the projected outlay to remodel the
facility.
Analysis
of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our
working capital and capital expenditure requirements are generally met through
net cash provided by operations and occasionally, based on current liquidity at
the time, the revolving bank line of credit.
Our
revolving credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of $15.2 million which
is provided by the Bank of Oklahoma, National Association. Under the
line of credit, there is one standby letter of credit totaling $1.0
million. The letter of credit is a requirement of our workers
compensation insurance and will expire December 31, 2009. Interest on
borrowings is payable monthly at the rate of 4% or LIBOR plus 2.5%, whichever is
higher (4.00% at September 30, 2009). No fees are associated with the
unused portion of the committed amount.
At
September 30, 2009, we did not have an outstanding balance under the revolving
credit facility. At December 31, 2008, we had $2.9 million borrowed
under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings available under the
revolving credit facility at September 30, 2009 were $14.2
million. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, we were in compliance with
our financial ratio covenants. The covenants are related to our tangible net
worth, total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and working
capital. At September 30, 2009 our tangible net worth was $114.9
million which meets the requirement of being at or above $75
million. Our total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio was 1 to 3
which meets the requirement of 2 to 1. Our working capital was $57.2
million which meets the requirement of being at or above $30
million. On July 30, 2009, we renewed the line of credit with a
maturity date of July 30, 2010, with terms substantially consistent with the
previous agreement.
Management
believes our projected cash flows from operations and bank revolving credit
facility, or comparable financing, will provide the necessary liquidity and
capital resources for fiscal year 2009 and the foreseeable
future. Our belief that we will have the necessary liquidity and
capital resources is based upon our knowledge of the heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (“HVAC”) industry and our place in that industry, our ability
to limit the growth of our business if necessary, our ability to adjust dividend
cash payments, and our relationship with the existing bank
lender. For information concerning our revolving credit facility at
September 30, 2009 (see Note 7 Revolving Credit
Facility).
Cash Flows
Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided by
operating activities increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, by
$6.2 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was
primarily due to changes in accounts receivable and provision for losses on
accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.
Cash Flows Used
in Investing Activities. Cash flows used in investing
activities were $8.6 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in cash flows
used in investing activities in 2009 was related to higher capital expenditures
of $8.6 million for additions to machinery and equipment and manufacturing
facilities, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2008. Capital
expenditures in 2008 related to a building expansion and additions of machinery
and equipment to further automate production. Management utilizes
cash flows provided from operating activities to fund capital expenditures that
are expected to increase growth and create efficiencies. We have
budgeted capital expenditures of approximately $8.0 million to $9.0 million in
2009 to complete the building expansion that started in 2008, our building
renovation of the previously third party leased production facility, and
machinery and equipment purchases. We expect our cash requirements to
be provided from cash flows from operations.
Cash Flows Used
in Financing Activities. Cash flows used in financing
activities were $10.2 million and $25.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease of cash used
in financing activities is primarily due to a lower volume of stock repurchases
during the period.
We
repurchased shares of stock from employees’ 401(k) savings and investment plan,
from directors and officers and the open market for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 in the amount of $2.5 million for 134,777 shares of stock.
There were 1,171,272 shares of stock repurchased for a total of $24.1 million
for the same period in 2008.
We
received cash from stock options exercised of $0.9 million and classified the
excess tax benefit of stock options exercised and restricted stock awards vested
of $0.4 million in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. The cash received for options exercised and income tax effect
partially offset the stock repurchase and dividend payments for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. The cash received from stock options
exercised for the same period in 2008 was $1.1 million and the excess tax
benefit of stock options exercised and restricted stock awards vested was
approximately $1.3 million.
Cash dividends were declared in December 2008 and were paid in
January 2009 in the amount of $2.8 million. Cash dividends of $3.1 million were
declared on May 19, 2009, and accrued then paid on July 2, 2009, to shareholders
of record on June 11, 2009. Cash dividends of $2.8 million were
declared on May 20, 2008, and accrued then paid on July 3, 2008 to shareholders
of record on June 12, 2008. Board of Director approval is required to determine
the date of declaration and amount for each semi-annual payment.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Because these estimates and assumptions require
significant judgment, future actual results could differ from those estimates
and could have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial
position and cash flows. We reevaluate our estimates and assumptions
on a monthly basis.
A
comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies and management
estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2008. There have been no significant changes in
critical accounting policies or management estimates other than as related to
derivatives stated below since the year ended December 31,
2008.
We have
added the following accounting policies since December 31, 2008:
Derivatives
We use
derivatives to mitigate our exposure to volatility in copper prices.
Fluctuations in copper commodity prices impact the value of the derivatives that
we hold. We are subject to gains which we record as derivative assets
if the forward copper commodity prices increase and losses which we record as
derivative liabilities if they decrease. We record the fair value of
the derivative position in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We use
COMEX index pricing to support our fair value calculation, which is a Level 2
input per the valuation hierarchy as the pricing is for instruments similar but
not identical to the contract we will settle (see Note 16, Fair Value
Measurements). We did not designate the derivative as a
cash flow hedge. We record changes in the derivative’s fair value
currently in earnings based on mark-to-market accounting. The change
in earnings is recorded to cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. We do not use derivatives for speculative
purposes.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
March 2008, the FASB issued FASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging,
formerly SFAS No. 161, (“FASC 815”), which requires enhanced disclosures
about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under prior
guidance and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash
flows. FASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Adoption
of FASC 815 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements (see Note 4, Derivatives).
In May
2009, the FASB issued FASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, formerly
SFAS 165 (“FASC
855”), which requires entities to disclose the date through which they have
evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the release of
their financial statements. FASC 855 is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FASC 855 for
reporting in second quarter 2009. Adoption of FASC 855 did not have a
material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01, Topic 105 - Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“ASU 2009-01”), which superseded all accounting
standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASU
2009-01 is effective for reporting periods ending after September 15,
2009. We adopted ASU 2009-01 for reporting in third quarter
2009. The codification does not change or alter existing
GAAP. Adoption of ASU 2009-01 did not have a material impact on our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosures: Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASU 2009-05”), which
provides clarification on measuring liabilities at fair value when a quoted
price in an active market is not available. ASU 2009-05 is effective
for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. We do not
expect adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”,
“believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “will”, and variations of such words and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance
and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to
predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially
from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they
are made. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. Important factors that could cause results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include (1) the
timing and extent of changes in raw material and component prices, (2) the
effects of fluctuations in the commercial/industrial new construction market,
(3) the timing and extent of changes in interest rates, as well as other
competitive factors during the year, and (4) general economic, market or
business conditions.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
Interest
Rate Risk
We are
subject to interest rate risk on the revolving credit facility which bears
variable interest based upon a prime or LIBOR rate. At September 30,
2009, we did not have an outstanding balance under the revolving credit
facility.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Foreign
sales accounted for less than 5% of our sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, and we accept payment for such sales in U.S. and Canadian
dollars; therefore, we believe we are not exposed to significant foreign
currency exchange rate risk on these sales. Foreign currency
transactions and financial statements are translated in accordance with FASC
Topic 830, Foreign Currency
Matters. We use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency,
except for the Canadian subsidiaries, which use the Canadian
dollar. Adjustments arising from translation of the Canadian
subsidiaries’ financial statements are reflected in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and
Comprehensive Income. Transaction gains or losses that arise from
exchange rate fluctuations applicable to transactions are denominated in
Canadian currency and are included in the results of operations as
incurred. The exchange rate of the United States dollar to the
Canadian dollar was $0.9199 and $0.9624 at September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
We do not
utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate or foreign
currency exchange rate risk. We do use derivatives to economically
hedge our commodity price risk.
Commodity
Price Risk
We
entered into a derivative instrument in the third quarter of 2009 with a large
financial institution, to mitigate our exposure to volatility in copper prices.
Fluctuations in copper commodity prices impact the value of the derivatives we
hold. We are subject to gains which we record as derivative assets if
the forward copper commodity prices increase and losses which we record as
derivative liabilities if they
decrease.
We do not use
derivatives for speculative purposes.
At
September 30, 2009, the commodity prices were higher than our contract price
resulting in a gain or derivative assets. The January through
September 2010 monthly settlements totaling $0.8 million are recognized as
current derivative assets and the October through December 2010 monthly
settlements totaling $0.2 million are recognized as non-current derivative
assets at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We use COMEX
index pricing to support our fair value calculation, which is a Level 2 input
per the valuation hierarchy as the pricing is for instruments similar but not
identical to the contract we will settle (see Note 16, Fair Value
Measurements). We did not designate the derivative as a
cash flow hedge. We record changes in the derivative’s fair value
currently in earnings based on mark-to-market accounting. As a
result, the Consolidated Income Statement includes a $1.0 million adjustment to
cost of sales as of September 30, 2009.

The
principal components of cost of goods sold are labor, raw materials, component
costs, factory overhead, freight out and engineering expense. The
principal high volume raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are
steel, copper and aluminum, which are obtained from domestic
suppliers. The raw materials market was volatile during 2009 and 2008
due to the economic environment. In addition to the derivative
instrument described above, we attempt to limit the impact of price fluctuations
on these materials by entering into cancelable and noncancelable fixed price
contracts with our major suppliers for periods of 6 - 18 months. We
expect to receive delivery of raw materials for use in our manufacturing
operations from our fixed price contracts. These contracts are not
accounted for as derivative instruments since they meet the normal purchases and
sales exemption allowed by GAAP. We have entered into contracts
that are both above and below the average index price as of September 30,
2009. Prices decreased by approximately 49% for steel, 56% for
aluminum and 27% for copper from September 30, 2008 to September 30,
2009. The lower commodity prices have contributed to our lower cost
of goods sold.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
At the
end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management,
under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe
that:
·
|
Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms;
and
|
·
|
Our
disclosure controls and procedures operate such that important information
flows to appropriate collection and disclosure points in a timely manner
and are effective to ensure that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, and made known to our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, particularly during the period when
this Quarterly Report was prepared, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding the required
disclosure.
|
Our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure
controls and procedures and concluded that these controls and procedures were
effective as of September 30, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
There
have been no material changes in risk factors as previously disclosed in our
Form 10-K in response to Item 1A, to Part I of Form 10-K other than as related
to derivatives stated below.
Our
use of derivative instruments will affect cost of sales and net income by copper
price fluctuations.
Reducing
our exposure to price volatility helps ensure that we can mitigate the impact of
price fluctuations. Derivative transactions provide an offset to cost of sales
which limits the downside risk of price increases, and also may limit the impact
of future price decreases.
Derivative
transactions also involve the risk that counterparties, which generally are
financial institutions, may be unable to satisfy their obligations to us. If a
counterparty were to default on its obligations to us under a forward purchase
contracts or seek bankruptcy protection, it could have a material adverse effect
on our profit margins. In addition, in the current economic environment and
tight financial markets, the risk of counterparty default is heightened, which
could result in a larger percentage of our future production being subject to
commodity price changes.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity and Securities and Use of
Proceeds.
Following
repurchases of approximately 12% of our outstanding Common Stock between
September 1999 and September 2001, we announced and began another stock
repurchase program on October 17, 2002, targeting repurchases of up to an
additional 10% (2.0 million shares) of our outstanding stock. On
February 14, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the suspension of our
repurchase program. Through February 14, 2006, we repurchased a total
of 1,886,796 shares under this program for an aggregate price of $22,034,568, or
an average price of $11.68 per share. We purchased the shares at the
then current market price.
On
November 6, 2007, the Board authorized a new stock buyback program, targeting
repurchases of up to approximately 10% (1.8 million shares) of our outstanding
stock from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market
prices. Through September 30, 2009, we repurchased a total of
1,717,804 shares under this program for an aggregate price of $34,192,008, or an
average price of $19.90 per share. We purchased the shares at the
current market price.
On July
1, 2005, we entered into a stock repurchase arrangement by which
employee-participants in AAON’s 401(k) savings and investment plan are entitled
